Well done! You have taken on the challenge to ride for a great cause.

MY ROOM was founded in 1993 to support the Children's Cancer Centre at the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne. We support cancer research, improvement of physical facilities, employing a social worker and providing other much needed support to children with cancer and their families.

Our objective is for one day to have a 100% cure rate for children with cancer.

You will have fun joining celebrities such as former Tour de France Green jersey winner Robbie McEwen and Sam 'The Bachelor' Wood for a social ride for a good cause.

Each dollar raised since 1993 by the My Room Volunteer committee has gone towards and continues to towards clinical and research endeavours as well as providing much needed support to children with cancer and their families in Victoria.

My Room is a registered non for profit charitable institution with DGR status and our volunteer committee has raised over $16 million dollars from December 1993 to December 2012.

My Room’s pledge is to support research and clinical care and help to improve outcomes for childhood cancer in Victoria.

My Room support includes: providing family support facilities, the training and availability of specialised social workers, education and in-service activities of all staff and the ongoing support of fundamental laboratory research, the redevelopment of the Children’s Cancer Centre, assistance with operational expenditure requirements of the Children’s Cancer Centre and the funding of research initiatives through the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute.

Many of these activities simply would not have been possible without the assistance of My Room and our generous supporters, volunteers and donors.
